Deshaun Watson Gets Bad News Ahead of Steelers Game

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson has not convinced the franchise that he is their long-term solution at the position, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Despite leading the Browns to a 2-1 start with consecutive comeback victories, team sources indicate Watson still faces an uncertain future as he plays out the final season of his five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract ahead of Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Watson has thrown for 587 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception through three games under coach Todd Monken. While Watson expressed his desire to play for many more years and remain in Cleveland, backup quarterbacks Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, and Taylen Green remain on the roster as alternative options.
